Dimensions and anatomic variations of left main coronary artery in normal population: multidetector computed tomography assessment.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Some plaques grow slowly in a linear manner, whereas others undergo a rapid phasic progression. However, the detailed in-vivo relationship between plaque characteristics and plaque progression pattern has not been reported. The current study aimed to investigate the plaque progression patterns with serial int...
